Also, the underwear names are awesome. I like Priape and Candyman, but by fave by far is MANZONE. I hear it in this booming movie announcer voice, in asscaps: MANZONE. (Much like my favorite all-time men's cologne name: GRAVEL.)
My personal favorite so far (of the
638
underwear choices) is Male Power® D-Ring Rip Off Thong
The D-Ring Rip-Off Thong is a risqué look. Made with soft faux leather for the ultimate comfort, this thong has D-ring styling on the front for a bondage-inspired look. The front panel is removable for easy access.
I've got 30% for non-retirement deductions. Is that about par for state, fed, FICA, health insurance, medicare, SS, etc?
Depends on which tax bracket you're in, but it's somewhere around there.
Jilli, vacuvin is your friend. Cork wine stoppers are okay for up to about a day, but they won't make a good seal unless they are very hard to get into the bottle. I have left opened bpttles and resealed them with a vacuvin and left them in the fridge for months with no ill effects.
Wish I could help, omnis, but that is the sort of thing I turn to Google for. 30% has always worked out to be a pretty good estimate for me, at least.
Anyway, what should I know about keeping an open bottle of wine good for a couple of days? I need bottle-stoppers, yes?
Bottle stoppers will help, and I read recently that all open wine should be kept in the fridge if you want it to stay good longer, even ones that you serve at room temperature.
ETA: We have also found that the bottles that come with the new rubber corks are easier to get back in a bottle for a tight seal.
Damn it. I called my mom hoping for some sympathy and reassurance about my back, but instead got called out on overreacting (for me) and focusing on a whole bunch of scary 'might have beens' for a lot longer than I would normally. In short, she knows me and my sublimating ways all too well.
To make a long story short, I've been a weepy mess for the past hour, and realizing that I need to (and don't want to) take a good hard look at why I have been unhappy at work for a while now and why I've been in denial about that.
Edit: And my back
still
hurts.
Sorry, I don't really know what the answer is, omnis.
I do not like the job-search process. I do not understand it, either. And I'm stressed out, and I have two big things to do this year -- job and dissertation -- and both of them are kind of stalled right now, and I just want this to be over. And I want to go get some greasy comfort food, but the restaurant that I'm craving is a pain to get to from here.
{{Anne}} Good luck with the looking hard. I never like that, but it feels good when it's over and you know what's what.
We love our VacuVin. Best thing EVER.
What a weird day. Good news at work (it's review time, and I got some inklings today on how that will go) but getting a bunch of emails from my BF that clearly demonstrate how lonely he is in Boston and how much he misses me, the dogs, California, etc. Oh CA 15% unemployment, how I detest you!!!
And I am having F2F withdrawal too, and am bummed that I didn't get to see more of bride and groom but at least they don't live too far away for visits.
